(Twinkle, twinkle)

Might as well reach for the stars
Way up in the air where you belong
Might as well reach for the stars
Even if you don't make it, you'll still be with the great ones
Yeah
My path, been clear
The bottom, been near
My plate, gon' share
My grind, took years
I've faced, my fears
I've passed, my peers
I've switched, them gears
They in, the rear
Goin' hard, there no stoppin' him
Everyday gotta thank God again
Money really ain't no problem
Nigga talk crazy, gon' ride on him
Niggas turn they back
Then they wanna be on your side again
Nigga keep a "D" like alphabet
We ain't tryna be on the ground

Let it go for the gusto
Way up on the rap mind, much more
I'ma get mines, it's always been cutthroat
Ten toes to the ground, I must blow
All the way up, but I do this for us though
Whatever you set your mind to you can do that, do that
On the grind full-time I shine 'cause I put in my work nigga true that, true that
Ain't it funny how the world go round
Ain't nothin' new to me under the sun
If I did it, Wiz did it, Kray did it, playa
Put it on Bone, you can get you some
Just take that 'cain up outta your vocab
You so bad
Tell the world that you can, can
Little man, man
You gon' laugh

Might as well reach for the stars
Way up in the air where you belong
Might as well reach for the stars
Even if you don't make it, you'll still be with the great ones, yeah
Might as well reach for the stars
Way up in the air where you belong
Might as well reach for the stars
Even if you don't make it, you'll still be with the great ones, yeah

Reach for the stars
Why not go Mars
We go way too hard
Y'all niggas still in cars
No limit, the galaxy ours
Sinkin' these suckas like gravity
To the bottom they constantly grabbin' me
Let 'em know, straight face
Y'all niggas can't fuck with Kray
But I'm on a brand new wave
And I'm knowing there's niggas beneath me
Keep 'em beneath me mane
Keepin' the heater, niggas' is creepin, I gotta keep the thang
They don't wanna see me shine, but the nigga so sick with the grind
And they don't wanna see Kray high, so high, I'm scraping the sky

Bone, Bone, Bone, Bone
This that thuggish, ruggish, bone
Just like I keep my gun on me, I keep my hustle on
I know when I work the night raw
But I've been a better man, a better man, song
Tell a nigga better take a cut and I'll be, gone
Currency
I finna reach for the stars, but don't you hurry me
Currently
The future of this music starts to worry me
That's all y'all, all y'all, all y'all
Cannabis, Sativa
And Wiz Khalifa yah

Might as well reach for the stars
Way up in the air where you belong
Might as well reach for the stars
Even if you don't make it, you'll still be with the great ones, yeah
Might as well reach for the stars
Way up in the air where you belong
Might as well reach for the stars
Even if you don't make it, you'll still be with the great ones, yeah

Tell me how far is that you see
I'm in another galaxy
Fuck Scottie, I might beam you up then back down, check this reality
Stack, give 'em a full dose of ambition, that's ammunition
That click and that clack don't stop us that drug got cookin' in the kitchen
How many pounds a day?
Maybe a few ki's of yay
Y'all heard but that sound like they say
Y'all fuck around, they don't play
Everyday, it's a special occasion
Everyday, it's a celebration
Everyday, a brand new creation
Everyday, got a brand new hater

Rewind, rewind
You can get a state mind and it never give in to
Speak it to existence, putting more weight on the bench like
Relentless, relentless
Do the most, do the most
Never told you, I'd never think lose
Never think lose
Now she's due
And if it comes 'round do it, do it
Stand in my way, and I'ma show how we do it, do it
Thug says no play, no conscious leave 'em all clueless
I do this, do this, go against the goalie and I say that's foolish
What brother on the road better than me, then prove it

First I want to say to everyone who has heard this song that, regardless if it's liked or not by any individual, and it is just a personal opinion (as is mine also) of that individual that it should be respected because it is just that, there choice to have . The FUTURE of something in the "MAKING" just occurred. Let's see if the "REAL" does recognize "REAL" on the real as it's been said and also has been put amongst the STARS (through radio waves in space, one of the oldest and other technologies here currently.) I HAVE a multi BILLON dollar offer here. This is for a group (I know as.. ) and also an entrepreneur (I know as.. ) The entrepreneur will know how to get a hold of me through his first venture in his millions. I know his name. . The group will follow as an example of whats to come in the future. Only good times and life in general I speak of. This all may sound weird. . But it's supposed to be for the one who can put it together quickly (as of Jan 27th 2019 2 a.m.) as can . I've known of the internet since 1994. This is my second post on any site ever. Find me through my phone A.C out of Louisiana.
This is legit.

Northwest, Port, 711.

Thank you,
A STAR AMONGST MANY

Lyrics
Take off, at the speed of sound
Bright lights, colors all around
I'm running wild, living fast, and free
Got no regrets inside of me
Not looking back
Not giving up
Not letting go
I'll keep on running!
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll keep on running!
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight...

[Instrumental]

Tonight....
Wake up, living day by day.
Do what I want, and I'll do it my way
The world is flying right below my feet
Got no regrets inside of me.
Not looking back (Not looking back)
Not giving up (Not giving up)
Not letting go
I'll keep on running!
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll keep on running!
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight...
Tonight....

[Instrumental]

I've got it in my sight.
The colors feels so right.
Got my feet off the ground I'll keep on running!
Oh, I can feel it now.
The colors all around
Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars...
Just take a chance (Just take a chance)
We'll do it right again
(I'm gonna reach for the stars)
Just take my hand (Just take my hand)
We'll take a chance tonight...
Reach for the stars...
Tonight!"

[Instrumental]

Tonight...
Sorry Wrong Song
